Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

Citizen scientists mapping the United Kingdom's and Republic of Ireland's flat flies (louse flies) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) reveal a vector's range shift

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 559-575, September 2025.
The Common or Bird Louse Fly Ornithomya avicularia, a vector of Haemoproteus sp. and trypanosomes, has undergone a major northwards range expansion in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina has also expanded its range northwards and westwards, and the Swallow Louse Fly Ornithomya biloba is now established in ...

Two avian Plasmodium species trigger different transcriptional responses on their vector Culex pipiens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
Abstract Malaria is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes.

Prevalence and lineage diversity of avian haemosporidians from three distinct cerrado habitats in Brazil. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Habitat alteration can disrupt host-parasite interactions and lead to the emergence of new diseases in wild populations. The cerrado habitat of Brazil is being fragmented and degraded rapidly by agriculture and urbanization.

Sex‐Dependent Carry‐Over Effects Between Physiological State and Reproduction in a Passerine Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We investigated sex‐specific carry‐over effects (COEs) between physiological state and reproduction in the short‐lived, seasonally breeding collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis). Our results reveal that COEs manifest differently between sexes: in females, past reproductive effort and stress levels predicted future physiological condition and ...

Surviving in a changing world: weather and juvenile condition matter for a long‐lived avian predator, but blood parasites do not appear to

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Survival is commonly the most critical factor influencing population growth in long‐lived species. Hence, identifying factors shaping variation of survival rates is crucial to understand and predict population trajectories in a changing world. We investigated the factors influencing survival in a long‐lived diurnal bird of prey, analysing the effectsof

High Abundance of Haemoproteus Parasites in Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), with a Confirmation of Culicoides reconditus as a New Vector of These Avian Blood Parasites

Insects
Haemoproteus parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (Culicoides) are still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species and lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect

Between‐ and within‐population drivers of haemosporidian prevalence and diversity in American robins Turdus migratorius

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Avian haemosporidians are a diverse group of parasites that infect birds worldwide and have been a major focus of research for decades. Yet, few studies have identified the drivers of infection at the intraspecific host level. We aimed to study the drivers of prevalence and diversity of haemosporidian parasites infecting a common North American ...
